imagine that you're motorboating on a river, and the boat is very short on fuel. You must drop a passenger off on the south riverbank first, and then you can go to refuel a station on the north riverbank. You are really short on fuel, so you need to minimize the t0tal distance of the trip. You are near the middle of the river- 40 meters from the dsouth bank - and that refueling station is 80 metrs from the south bank and 90 meters downriver from you. How far along the soutg bank should you stop to drop off the passenger?
